Raising your own food animals is unhealthy? -Katherine Soverel Maine Veterinary Medical Association

“While in theory raising food animals for one own consumption may sound harmless, unhealthy animals and unsafe slaughtering practices have a potential to jeopardize the health of children in the home who eat the meat or animal products , neighbors that the individual shares the meat or animal products with or any person who unknowingly consumes meat or eats the animal products. And when a problem with the meat or animal product is identified it makes identifying all exposed individuals nearly possible.” -Katherine Soverel Maine Vetirinary Medical Association
